Alright, so maybe the bidding is getting out of hand. If a bidder is knowledgeable (sp?) about Greek pins/badges and is still selling them on Ebay to collecters knowing that sisters or alumnae are trying to buy them...then, they're wrong. Simply. I know they might not care. And I know that that's their prerogative. But the simple point is that it's a moral question. This is why it has been on debate for so long by so many people in here and in conversations. I think that it is morally wrong to sell a Greek pin/badge. So do most other Greek affiliates. If you don't feel that way, that's fine. You're entilted to your own opinions. However, freedom of speech reigns. A mistake is a mistake. But doing it just for money is almost like a black market. Like selling kids, if you knew that the kid was stolen, you wouldn't adopt it. But if you were desperate and you didn't know, and you did adopt it...can you really be held accountable? Maybe for lack of research but that's it. However, if you know that the kid is stolen, and you adopt him/her anyway...you're wrong. That's my point of view.
